HI ,
I am not sure if I understand your answers properly and I apologize if
there is any confusion.
I am looking for demographic details of USA(as a whole) and individual
states. The procedure recommended by census.gov website seems to be
cumbersome(http://www.census.gov/2010census/news/press-kits/summary-file-1.html)
i.e.,I have to download the census files for each individual state
(total 52 times) to get census of USA .
Therefore, I was requesting if any stata list subscriber would know of
an easier, less cumbersome method to download the datasets directly
over the internet(preferably in stata format).
Please let me know if know any link/website where I can download such
datasets .
Thank you again for your time .
